Notes & reviews

on the fourth pitch, Delgado hit the ball down the LF line; 3B umpire Mike Reilly ruled it a home run but his partners huddled and reversed the call; replays showed that the ball hit the black base of the pole and thus was a home run; Mets manager Willie Randolph argued briefly; moments later, HP umpire Bob Davidson ejected Mets bench coach Jerry Manuel, who had seen a replay and was yelling from the bench
